Drivers Gone After SP1 Failure
I have an HP Pavillion m8020n desktop with Vista Home Premium. After trying
to resolve a number of minor problems HP convinced me to upgrade to SP1. After running for many hours the install failed. After that failure I started getting prompted to install many different hardware drivers including my HP Media Drive, Ieee controller etc. I bypassed these and evything seemed to work so the next time I got asked to install a driver I selected "Don't ask me this anymore". Well since then Vista will not recognize any new devices including my media drive, printers, MP3 player, wireless keyboard and mouse or the advanced features of my monitor (sound). I tried to recover the drivers using the system restore wizard. Syas everything worked but still no devices. Tried to recover from a restore point but I don't seem to have any. ANy ideas short of recovering the system to manufacturers defaults (BY the way I also have not been able to run a backup).

Drivers Gone After SP1 Failure
Use the free MS support site for SP1 and see if they can get you going
without having to restore. https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?prid=11274 "Steve Wade" wrote in message ... I have an HP Pavillion m8020n desktop with Vista Home Premium.

Thanks COlin. Unfortunately when I try to use this service I get the
following error An unknown application error occurred. Please try again in a few minutes.

Is that when you use the start email request button? I am able to get past
that so if you have another computer try from it. "Steve Wade" wrote in message ... Thanks COlin.

Apparently NAV has a problem with SP1, the registry gets munged up and device manager is emptied. There is a fix from Norton, altho I would be tempted to dump it.. Eric
